You are cordially invited to join SPARKLE, where we celebrate life by helping to take our minds away from some of the day-to-day stresses of the PD world. WHAT IS SPARKLE? SPARKLE (Smiling PARKies Live Easier) SPARKLE intends to bring a smile to people living with PD. SPARKLE is a worldwide English speaking list for exchanging "NON-PD" messages between people with Parkinson's Disease (PWP), their partners, caregivers, family, relatives and people otherwise involved or interested in PD. SPARKLE is a sublist of the Parkinsn Information Exchange Network. SPARKLE is from now on the perfect place to exchange "NON-PD" messages. That way the number of messages on PARKINSN will be seriously reduced and will be mainly PD-related only. People that also want to (continue to) exchange "NON-PD" messages can join SPARKLE. Examples of the contents of "NON-PD" messages are: (saga-based) stories, humor and/or humour, jokes, poetry, cook-recipes, hobbies, pets, vacation, holidays, chitchat. The SPARKLE server is located in Great-Brittain, made available for free by New Information Paradigms and hosted by Simon Coles. We are very grateful for their support!!
